general problems of the 2012 Subaru Forester

My 2012 Subaru Forester had a recall on my passenger air bag that I had completed February 2019. It is now July 2022 and it’s displaying the same codes for a faulty air bag per my mechanic. I contacted Subaru of America and they stated that it’s not their problem because they have already complied with the recall. Clearly there is still an issue with the air bag or it would not have the same safety air bag code as before. This is clearly a manufacturer issue that they need to rectify. I should not have the same issue 3 years later. This is a huge safety problem.

Takata recall. Our Subaru dealership told us that they cannot get us in to fix our airbag for at least a month if not more. I find this unsafe to be forced to drive a car that could explode on my passenger at any time and unreasonable to have to avoid driving my car during this time with a passenger because my dealership refuses to put us ahead of less pressing issues.

Takata recall: I am writing to make a formal complaint against Subaru of America, inc. And their dealerships, regarding their failure to fulfill their responsibilities as part of the takata recall (NHTSA campaign: 17v-014000). My local Subaru dealership, downtown Subaru of oakland, California, has refused to provide either service or a loaner vehicle, in accordance with the NHTSA's mandated responsibilities of manufacturers and their dealerships for this recall. I am unable to operate my car without a person in the front passenger seat, where the defective airbag is installed, because my wife and I share one car and have two infant car seats installed in the rear of the car.

"takata recall" received letter from subara of America, inc. 3/24/17 in reference to recall. Instructed to take vehicle to local dealership for repair. Took vehicle next day to dealership, which stated they had repair parts and made an appointment for repairs within a week. The day before scheduled appointment, service dept. Phoned me and said that they didn't have the repair parts. I have made attempts to contact the service dept with promises of a call back, which never materialize. I believe that since the vehicle was not purchased at this dealership, I am being overlooked. This recall effects my wife who has walking problems and must ride in the front passengers seat. Dealership offers a loaner car for these recalls, but never returns my calls to my cell phone.

Takata recall--just received a notice today in the mail, March 20, 2017, from Subaru that my Forester has a defective "passenger side frontal airbag containing. . . Ammonium nitrate. " I am advised in this letter of the danger this presents, and that "parts are not available at this time" and might not be available until December. " I am advised, "until this repair is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat. " how ridiculous is that???? for a period of possibly nine months, no one can sit in the front passenger seat. Surely, the car companies can do better than this. I've been in touch with my dealership. They (no surprise) will have to get back to me. This is ridiculous and unacceptable, and I'm a fan of Subarus.

Me and my 12 year old daughter were driving 20mph down a small hill,a lady pulled out in front of us,I hit the brakes,which locked up and we slid so I let off them immeadly,the roads were icy and snowy,so we gained a lot of velocity,we missed hitting her but went sideways,a little airborn and hit a telephone pole. I violently struck my head off the drivers side window,and my shoulder and arm were pinched between my body and the door. The tires popped,the front bumper clips broke. We both suffered seat belt brusies,and my daughter slammed her knee. I hurt my shoulder pretty bad and my head still hurts they are doing cat scans. My air bag on my drivers side door,where it struck the pole never deployed. I just thank god it did not hit on her side. But we were definatly going fast enough to deploy that side curtain air bag it bent the door and the rocker sill the thought of it not going off is very scary and a big malfunction,ive been having enough problems with the brakes,seatbelts,car not running properly,and a bunch of other issues I really did not need this and I really feel that this is a huge safety problem that can kill someone and we were very lucky,when I contacted Subaru I got the usual run around. Not a happy customer. Needs someone to intervine like you.
